Features: Based on the authors' research achievements, this book systematically studies authentication protocols and cryptographic techniques in mobile communication systems. The book is divided into four parts (11 chapters): Part 1 (Chapters 1-4) introduces the theoretical foundations of mobile communication authentication protocols and cryptographic techniques, including number theory, symmetric and asymmetric key systems, and authentication and key negotiation mechanisms. Part 2 (Chapters 5-6) discusses security issues in mobile communication systems, including security threats and technologies, with detailed analysis of systems such as GSM. Part 3 (Chapters 7-10) examines security issues in third-generation mobile communication systems, covering security architectures, security technologies in system access links and network domains, and security guarantees during 2G/3G interoperation and handover. Part 4 (Chapter 11) explores the application of public-key cryptography in mobile communication systems. This book provides valuable assistance for engineering technicians engaged in the design of mobile communication network authentication protocols and cryptographic algorithm research, as well as serving as a reference textbook and resource for undergraduate and graduate students in relevant fields to understand knowledge in mobile communication network security.
